During two summers in between academic years of college I worked for the shipyard as an engineering co-op. I provided assistance to other Code 260 engineers in accomplishing ship-checks, Task Group Instruction preparation, drawing reviews, material ordering, and technical correspondence to off station entities such as Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) and Submarine Maintenance Engineering Planning and Procurement (SUBMEPP). This was preparation for my full time employment as a mechanical engineer upon graduation.
